Abstract
A disposable support for containers for treating biological samples in cytocentrifuges, that comprise a vertical flat supporting base with a protruding wall that supports at least one funnel connected in a lower region to a corresponding horizontal connection channel, the support being composed of a single element made of molded plastic material, and comprising a flat supporting body with protruding edges for accommodating, in succession, a slide, a filtering card and the container base, clamps for retaining the slide, the filtering card and the base container, and a transverse pivot for fixing the support to a cytocentrifuge.
Description
- The present invention relates to a disposable support for containers for treating biological samples in cytocentrifuges.
- Containers commonly known as cuvettes are already known which are constituted by a vertical flat resting base from which a wall protrudes at right angles, said wall supporting one or two funnels that are connected, in a lower region, to corresponding horizontal connection channels.
- Such containers are used to treat biological samples by way of the cytocentrifugation technique.
- To do so, the containers are rested, with a filtering card interposed, on a microscope slide and the assembly is reversibly fixed inside a cytocentrifuge.
- For this purpose, the cytocentrifuge is provided with supports, each of which is currently constituted by a contoured steel element that forms a flat supporting body with raised edges in order to accommodate in succession the slide, the filtering card, and the base of the container, which are fixed thereto by means of a spring-loaded device constituted by a metal wire shaped like an inverted letter U, which is articulated with its lower ends to the flat body and can be rotated so as to be arranged substantially parallel to it and engage suitable tabs that protrude from the edges.
- On the opposite side with respect to the engagement means, the body has a transverse pivot for fixing to the cytocentrifuge.
- Cuvette supports are therefore an integral part of the centrifugation machine, and since they are the elements that make direct contact with the containers the supports must be very well cleaned for each individual test to be conducted.
- This naturally causes problems in terms of the time required for cleaning and does not provide absolute certainty that the cleaning is perfect.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a support for containers for treating biological samples in cytocentrifuges that is of the disposable type and therefore can be used in combination with cuvettes and in the same manner as the cuvettes.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a support that can be sold by the manufacturer in combination with a slide, a filtering card and a cuvette as a disposable kit to be used in cytocentrifuges.
- Another object is to provide a support that is structurally simple and has a low cost.
- Another object is to provide a support that can be obtained in a finished condition with a small number of manufacturing operations.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a disposable support for containers for treating biological samples in cytocentrifuges, each one of the containers comprising a vertical flat supporting base from which a wall protrudes at right angles, said wall supporting at least one funnel that is connected in a lower region to a corresponding horizontal connection channel, said support being characterized in that it comprises, in a single element made of molded plastic material, a flat supporting body with protruding edges in order to accommodate in succession a slide, a filtering card and said base of said container for the treatment of biological samples, said protruding edges integrating clamp means for retaining the slide, the filtering card and the container, said body integrating a transverse pivot for fixing the support to a cytocentrifuge.
- Advantageously, an elastic means for recovering any play is integrated in the body in the region of contact with the slide.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, illustrated by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a disposable support according to the invention and of the components that must be associated therewith, i.e., the slide, the filter and the container for treating biological samples;
- FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view of the support of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the support of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a rear view of the support of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the support of FIG. 1.
- With reference to the figures, a container for treating biological samples in cytocentrifuges is generally designated by the
reference numeral 10 and comprises, in a single element made of molded plastic material, a vertical flat supportingbase 11 from which awall 12 protrudes at right angle, said wall supporting in this case two funnels, designated by thereference numerals horizontal connection channel - A disposable support according to the invention for
containers 10 comprises, in a single monolithic molded plastic element, a flat supportingbody 17 with protrudinglongitudinal edges 18 and alower edge 19 that also protrudes. - The connection between the
longitudinal edges 18 and thebody 17 is provided by forming respectivelongitudinal channels 20, while thelower edge 19 has, in respective regions located substantially at the ends, two smallperpendicular containment tabs 21. - The
body 17 with theedges slide 22, afiltering card 23, and thebase 11 of thecontainer 10, as shown in particular in FIGS. 1 and 3. - These elements are retained in a lower region by the
tabs 21 and in an upper region by clamp means 24, which are integrated with thelongitudinal edges 18. - The clamp means24 are constituted by two mutually opposite hook-
shaped tabs 25, which are sized so as to retain between their ends and thebody 17 the elements cited above in succession. - The
tabs 25 are extended, in the rear part of said body, withrespective levers 26. - In practice, by moving the
levers 26 mutually closer with one's fingers, an elastic flexing motion is produced which moves apart the ends of thetabs 25, allowing to insert theslide 22, thefiltering card 23 and thebase 11. - The fixing engagement of the assembly is obtained by releasing the
levers 26. - Also according to the invention, the
flat body 17 integrates anelastic means 27 for taking up any plays, which is constituted in practice by a longitudinal bridge-like element that is designated by the same reference numeral and protrudes from the part that supports theslide 22 and in practice constitutes a sort of leaf spring. - On the opposite side of the region where the
slide 22 rests, theflat body 17 integrates atransverse pivot 28 for fixing to a cytocentrifuge, which is not shown in the figures. - In practice it has been found that the intended aim and objects of the present invention have been achieved.
- The support can in fact be obtained with a single molding operation, for example by injection-molding plastic material, and is therefore extremely cheap and therefore usable as a disposable item.
- This allows to market complete single-use kits constituted by a support, a slide, filter paper and a container of biological samples.
- In practice, the materials employed, so long as they are compatible with the contingent use, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
